New Brunswick only province mentioned in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

While reading sections 16-20 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, I see it states that such and such applies to both Canada AND New Brunswick, as if it isn't part of Canada. Why is NB the only province to be mentioned by name, and are other provinces attempting to get their own special rights put in The Charter? *This was part of the Constitution act of 1982, long after New Brunswick became a province.

1. That is a good question but then again New Bruswick and New Foundland were not part of Canada when the Canadian Confederation was created, but were added to Canada later on.
